Dibella refuses to promote Taylor, says his health is at risk...

Oh please! I guess this has nothing to do with his Jermain not bringing in as much money these days for ole Lou. I've heard Lou speak too many times, and I'm from Arkansas so I've been to all of Jermains home fights and I've heard Lou speak on Jermain's behalf too many times! Lou is arrogant an selfish and im convinced he's more concerned about his pocket book than he is of Jermain Taylor's health!

Ward doesnt have the same power as Pav, Froch or Abraham so I dont think think Taylor is in teh same danger of ebing KO'd

If Lou doesnt promote him someone else will and they will get the money

I can understand becoming cynical after being a long time boxing fan, but this way over the top, and besides is totally illogical.

Dibella has just earned some respect out of me.

Thats just crazy talk mate...A fighter of Taylors caliber can make millions for his promoter by being a stepping stone for an upcoming prospect without DiBella having to invest a dime for promotion cost making the nother promoter pay out of pocket for event cost by taking a smaller cut...Free money to be honest....

I know a lot of promoters who do that big names not just local guys..

Lou genuinly cares about his guys....

A couple of years ago I did an interview with Lou for this site and he went on for an hour on how his fighters mean more to him as a peoplke rather then business investments....

There will always be another fighter to come along and make money with, off of

where was this compassion when he threw Balboa in there with Dixon huh!?!?!?!? :mad::mad::mad::mad: ;D;D;D

in all seriousness got a new found respect for Dibella if this is true

Well in all fairness the computer simulation that had Balboa knocking Mason out really put a hurting on Dixons marketability:-\...The fight had to take place:D

Wow, a boxing promotor shows a sign of humanity, please let me be first in line, I don't want sloppy seconds :-X

Sadly, Dibella is still italian.

And he still promotes Paulie Malignaggi.

Watch one episode of the Jersey Shore. Actually don't. He could part the Red Sea and I still wouldnt be a believer.

I don't think Taylor is quite as done as some like to make out, he's only been stopped by guys with serious power, but DiBella knows more than me & credit to him for doing what he feels is the right thing.
